I’m using Fusion360, and I dislike it for a lot of reasons, but it’s easy to use. I tried FreeCAD, but it was very janky in comparison. Shapr3D was surprisingly good, but there’s no way I’m paying monthly for my hobby usage. I need precision prints, so I can’t just use Blender or similar.

Is there some magical unicorn software I’m not finding?

    I also don’t have a good solution and I’m extremely slowly writing my own stuff starting from svg and drawings and some programming to do geometry. But I mostly haven’t touched 3d yet.

    I would use blender which you have already excluded so no idea.

      Well, CAD and “3D” are not the same thing. Blender is good for 3d, but cad features are stapled on. Also blender has too many knobs—that is not useful for CAD
